The former Chicago Tribune/MLB.com reporter Phil Rogers tweeted today that he has ghost-written a Bud Selig autobiography which will be published in July 2019. It will be called “For the Good of the Game” and can be pre-ordered now.

I’ll be charitable enough to Selig to say that it will likely contain a lot of interesting stories. Love him or hate him, he has been one of the most important and influential baseball figures in the past 50 years. He has taken a central role in most major baseball developments since the 1960s and bore witness to just about every other one. The guy has seen some things and I’m sure he has some interesting stories.

What it will not be, however, is anything approaching a useful history of baseball during that time.
